Editorial use terms — coverage, citation, republishing
Lvlup is an editorial project. The terms below set out how readers may quote coverage, what they may not republish, and how the desk handles citations and corrections.
What the terms cover
Lvlup publishes editorial coverage on esports tournaments, teams, players and games. The terms apply to any reader who visits the site or the companion app. Where the site references a publisher-controlled path (download, bonus, refer), the publisher's own terms apply — the Lvlup terms do not.
Editorial citations
Every score, roster move and patch line carries a Tier-A/B/C stamp. Tier C is editorial interpretation and is always flagged in line. Where a reader believes a citation is wrong, the desk replies to corrections within 14h on average.
Reader obligations
SUMMARY| Quote | Brief excerpts with attribution to lvlupin.com permitted. |
| Republish | Entire articles or film-room ledgers require written permission. |
| Use | Editorial coverage is for reading; not a basis for any wagering or financial decision. |
| Mirror | Mirror URLs are not authorised; safe access at lvlupin.com only. |
Editorial disclaimer
Editorial coverage, including match previews, post-match notes and Tier-C patch reads, is published for informational purposes. The desk does not represent any information as a basis for financial or wagering decisions. Where readers proceed to a publisher-controlled path, they do so under the publisher's own terms.
Where wagering routes connect, age and jurisdiction apply.
The Lvlup newsroom maintains no commercial relationship with any reader's wagering or financial decisions. The desk's editorial framing of publisher paths is independent of any commercial agreement.
How the desk enforces the editorial use terms in practice
The desk enforces the editorial use terms in three places. Below is the working method for each.
Place one — the editorial archive
The editorial archive is the desk's published history. A reader who wants to republish editorial coverage must contact the desk for written permission; the desk holds a copy of the published editorial archive and answers republishing requests against the archive.
Place two — the corrections log
The corrections log is the desk's revision history. A reader who republishes a corrected editorial article must republish the corrected version, not the original; the corrections log is a citation source for any reader's republished version.
Place three — the contact inbox
The contact inbox is the desk's permission inbox. A reader who wants to republish an entire article or the film-room ledger must contact the desk via the contact inbox; the desk's reply is the desk's permission.
